Emilie
Emilie is a premium Dendro pick for Burning teams: drop her Skill, swap out, and the damage ticks on its own with almost no effort. She shines most beside a Pyro main DPS like Arlecchino or Hu Tao. The priority is a 4pc Unfinished Reverie set; if you don't have it, 4pc Deepwood Memories still carries thanks to its Dendro RES shred. The craftable 4-star Prospector's Drill or Deathmatch is plenty, so skipping Lumidouce Elegy is fine. Farm a Dendro goblet and a CRIT circlet first.

Shadow-Hunting Spear (Custom)

Fragrance Extraction
Lumidouce Case
·Fires Puffs of Puredew at nearby opponents at intervals, dealing Dendro DMG.
·When nearby opponents are affected by Burning, they will give off Scents at intervals, and 1 Scent can be created this way every 2s. The Lumidouce Case collects nearby Scents. The Lumidouce Case will level up after gathering 2 of them, after which it will fire 1 extra Puff of Puredew when firing, while the DMG dealt by and DMG AoE of the above attack will also be increased.
·1 Lumidouce Case created by Emilie herself can exist at any one time. The Case starts at Level 1 and can go up to Level 2. If the Case does not collect any Scents for 8s while it is on the field, it will go back to Level 1.
Arkhe: Pneuma
At intervals, after Emilie creates a Lumidouce Case this way, a Spiritbreath Thorn will descend in front of her and pierce her opponent, dealing Pneuma-aligned Dendro DMG.
"The world is an endless harmony of fragrance, color, and song."
Aromatic Explication
While it exists, the Level 3 Lumidouce Case will not gather nearby Scents, but it will continuously cause Scented Dew to descend, attacking opponents within range and dealing Dendro DMG. During this time, 1 drop of Scented Dew will descend every 0.3 seconds, and 1 opponent can become the target every 0.7 seconds.
When the duration ends, a Level 1 Lumidouce Case will be recreated. If a Lumidouce Case was stowed away when using Aromatic Explication, then the Case that was stowed away will be deployed instead, and its duration will be reset.
While Aromatic Explication is active, the Elemental Skill "Fragrance Extraction" will not create a Lumidouce Case.
No matter the perfume, it will begin to change the instant it comes into contact with the air, before finally dissipating amidst the whispers of wind, trees, and grass. In that sense, no two people will appreciate the exact same fragrance.
So it is for the paths taken by all who live. In that sense, you can consider perfumes an explication of human life.
Lingering Fragrance
Rectification
Headspace Capture
Emilie constellations
Increases the DMG dealt by Fragrance Extraction and her Ascension Talent's Cleardew Cologne "Lingering Fragrance" by 20%. The latter requires unlocking said Ascension Talent first.
Additionally, when nearby party members trigger the Burning reaction on opponents or deal Dendro DMG to Burning opponents, they will generate an additional Scent. This effect can be triggered once every 2.9s.
When Fragrance Extraction, Aromatic Explication, or Cleardew Cologne produced by the Ascension Talent "Lingering Fragrance" (the last of which requires Ascension Talent activation) hits opponents, those opponents' Dendro RES is decreased by 30% for 10s.
Increases the Level of Fragrance Extraction by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Aromatic Explication's duration is increased by 2s. The interval between opponents being selected as the target for Scented Dew is decreased by 0.3s.
Increases the Level of Aromatic Explication by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When using Fragrance Extraction or Aromatic Explication, Emilie will gain Abiding Fragrance for 5s.
While this is active, after Emilie uses Normal or Charged Attacks, she will generate 1 Scent, and her Normal and Charged Attack DMG will be converted into Dendro DMG that cannot be overridden, and the DMG dealt will be increased by 300% of Emilie's ATK.
The Abiding Fragrance effect will be removed after 4 Scents are created this way or after its duration expires. Abiding Fragrance can be triggered once every 12s.
